Complete blood count. Most commonly ordered hematology test. Quantification and morphological assessment of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Can be done with an automated hematology analyzer or manually by looking at blood filma

85
Q

29-50

85
Q

How do you name decrease in ‘phils’ and ‘cytes’

A

openia

85
Q

How do you name increases in ‘phils’

A

‘Philia’

85
Q

What is a decrease in all cell lines known as

A

Pancytopenia

85
Q

What is an increase of red blood cells known as

A

Polycythemia

85
Q

What is a decrease in red blood cells known as ?

A

Anemia

85
Q

What is an increAse in white blood cells mean

A

Leukocytosis

85
Q

What does a decrease in white blood cells mean

A

Leukopenia

85
Q

What is the disadvantage to using automated counter

A

Can get misleading information. Could give low red blood cell values if there is a lot of agglutination. Cannot count all the cells in the clump.

A

Methylene blue

85
Q

What are the inclusions on the reticulocyte

A

Rna

86
Q

Why is counting the reticulocytes useful

A

Can indicate whether anemia is due to low erythropoiesis or hemolysis ( ie. Production problem vs destruction problem)

87
Q

What is needed for an abnormality to be considered significant

A

Need to find it in every field of view examined

88
Q

What are the types of abnormalities

A
Color
Distribution
SiZe - anisocytosis
Shape - poikilocytosis
Inclusions
89
Q

What is hypochromasia

A

Large central pallor, decreased Hemoglobin, could be due to iron deficiency.

90
Q

What are polychromatophils

A

Make up less than 1% of red blood cells in circulation. Larger in size, purpleish, still have nuclear material. Rare in the horses

91
Q

What is agglutination

A

Clumping of a erythrocytes. Often due to an immune mediated disease. Caused by the cross-linking of antibodies. Cells held together firmly.

92
Q

What is Rouleaux

A

Coins. Can be an indicator of some disease, some Rouleaux present in nonruminant’s especially cats and horses. Caused by weak electrostatic attraction’s on cell surface. Cells held together loosely. Saline agglutination test can help distinguish between them. High amounts of plasma proteins can increase rouleaux.

93
Q

What are Heinz bodies

A

Normally found in cats. Less than 10% of red blood cells. Pathological finding in other species. Result of oxidative cell injury such as red Maple poisoning in horses.

94
Q

How do you do a white blood cell differential

A

Count 100 white blood cells and keep track of each type seen

95
Q

Describe the difference between dog red blood cells and cat and horse red blood cells

A

Dog red blood cells are larger and tend to have a more central Paller than cats and horses. Cat red blood cells appear more spherical than horses and dogs

96
Q

Describe the difference between eosinophils and heterophils

A

Eosinophils are slightly larger than heterophils. The nucleus is less segmented and the cytoplasmic granules are larger, round and bright red compared to heterophils. Granules usually completely fill the cytoplasm.

97
Q

Which dog blood type is most anti-genic

A

DEA 1.1 positive. Antigen is present in 40% of the population. Universal recipient

98
